Rooting for a Tiger, McIlroy, Stenson playoff.
Going to be interesting to see how Rory plays with Tiger charging.

Rory has shown IMO that for whatever reason he needs a big stage or something special to really get him locked in. Not sure why but seems to just not have that inner fire like Tiger and other "best ever" talents did to just chase perfection. Tiger being back and bringing the sense of excitement back to golf can only be good for Rory IMO.
As he showed today, when Rory is firing on all cylinders, he still has the ability to and power game to go to a level that really only 1 or 2 other people can get to. He just hit the afterburners today and left everyone in his dust. he honestly could have shot about 59 or 60 today but couldn't buy a putt the first few holes. Was as locked in as hes been in some time. First Thursday in April is going to be amazing.
Rory had injury issues that limited his play last year. And when he was playing, he wasn't playing well, especially with his short game. I was watching him at the Irish Open last year and he couldn't chip it inside of 10'. And he couldn't buy a putt all summer. Getting married could also have played a part - maybe he wasn't putting in the practice time. But he's healthy and has been playing well so far this year. He almost won twice in the UAE and played well at Riviera. He's never been a consistently great putter, but when he's on his game, and the putts are falling, he can still lap a field like few others. And they were falling yesterday. That 64 on that track was a bit ridiculous.
So are Reed and Spieth going to be paired together at the RC this year?
This article amped me up: Tiger is contending. Rory wins. Lefty is back. The Masters can’t get here soon enough.
I've watched more non-major golf in the last two weeks than I have in years.
Watson is amazing today.
He's back. Just in time for the Masters
